vararg is empty when loading certain chunks?

[Chris <coderight@...>]

If I try to load a chunk that is made of multiple files the arguments
appear to go missing.  Is this normal?

Example:

src1.lua:
  print("num args: "..#{..})

src2.lua:
  print("test")

luac -o test.luac src1.lua src2.lua

Lua 5.1.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2006 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> loadfile("test.luac")(1,2,3)
num args: 0   <---- Should be 3??
test


But it works with a single file:

luac -o test.luac src1.lua

Lua 5.1.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2006 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> loadfile("test.luac")(1,2,3)
num args: 3

What happened to the arguments in the first case?
